Had not been in a really long time. I wanted some soul food today and they did not disappoint. The food is kept VERY HOT. Overall cleaniness of the restaurant is good. I enjoyed everything on my plate. I had 2 pieces of meat and 3 sides and paid $12.80. The only thing I would say is that you don’t know how much you’re going to pay until you’ve already made your plate , and there’s no prices displayed but my food is usually $15 and under. The owner/manager is always nice. The macaroni and cheese was perfect. I’m gonna have to start back coming regularly! This food states like old school soul & R&B. It tastes like a grandma that’s the backbone of the family. It tastes like after church. It makes me wanna dance. Worth every dollar. I wanna kiss the chef. (Not literally)

With food this good, they definitely need a bigger space ?! We chose the ayce $14 buffet, which had fried shrimp (cooked to perfection), fried catfish (delicious), huge fried pork chops, meatballs, fried chicken and baked chicken for the meats. For the veggies, cabbage, collards, Mac n cheese (yum), black eye peas, potato salad, sweet potatoes, corn, deviled eggs, fried okra and stewed tomatoes! To be such a small space that made the buffet much smaller than most places, they utilized every bit of space and kept it filled up with deliciousness! They do a good amount of takeout, and several of the ten tables were occupied. The owners and staff were absolutely WONDERFUL! Kind and personable and so helpful. We had a wonderful experience celebrating an 85th birthday and the birthday girl was so happy! Can't wait to go back for the Sunday buffet and taste their dressing!! Please do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't be sorry. I guarantee it!Parking: Very few spaces in front of the place some side street parking available

Food is always good and service is top tier, all of the employees are polite and willing to help. No matter if you have a question about a certain dish or just refilling a beverage.

I was SO impressed with my meal! The selection was amazing. They had everything! The flavors were incredible. The music was mellow and upbeat. The service was friendly. We got there as they were just opening. They didn't get a full house while I was there, but the to go traffic was steady. Thank you! I'll be back! ❤️??
